I saved these, and something pretty cool which I will be bringing to the November meeting for a door prize. No other hints, but it's big and would look good in just about any of our garages.

No mine.... luckily. Most I think run stuff past thier guys to see if anyone wants it. I still threw a bunch away, but I will keep duplicates too in case someone else wants one.

What kills me is the scarppage program. GM (and others I'm sure) has a program where you apply to return parts to them and in some cases, they have you dispose of those parts instead of returning them. Nothing sool like an engine or cyl heads, but lots of small stuff. When I first got into this biz, I had several 55 gal drums worth of stuff I had to toss. Couldn't save it. larger parts need to actually eb destroyed. I have watched engine blocks get beat, tranny cases get crushed, etc to render them useless. Even decent looking tires might get a small hole drilled into the side if they're otherwise bad.

Bryan. Someone on Team Chevelle was asking about getting parts for a Ram Jet they bought. Ill have to go back and see if I can find that again. I think they wanted to know if anyone made a harness for it.

Do those Ram Jet manuals contain any part numbers?

I'll have to check. If not, I can scrounge them up I'm sure. They're out in the garage library right now.
